I'm in the middle of cooking my dinner and I realize that I don't have my desert, I finished it all yesterday. I'm gonna have to go to the store after dinner for it now. German chocolate covered brownie. Goes pretty well with a sip of red wine.
yes, I'm bored

bambooboy: perhaps I should upload you some of the coconut macaroons I have stashed in my freezer. :)

yes, maybe you can email them to me. Then I just have to figure out a way to eat the email. In this day and age, there really should be a way to email food.
Anyway, I'm done with dinner and will be heading to the store soon.

hope you don't end up in a desert (like the sahara or gobe).

easy way to remember--dessert has two s's like strawberry shortcake.

on a night like this the german chocolate cake sounds good.

MMMMMM, macaroons.

@bambooboy:
"In this day and age, there really should be a way to email food."

Soon, real soon.

3D printing technology is growing exponentially from plastic renditions of scale models that are now ubiquitous to materially correct copies, atom by atom, of whatever the sender has in mind for you.

Dessert? Or REVENGE! BWA HA HA!

So the important question of the night is just where do you get those German Chocolate brownies?

Cate - I've seen, and drooling over wishing could have them, at QFC and Safeway.
My brother was turning 50; he loved desserts;I bought a German chocolate cake & while he and his wife were in my yard I put 50 candles on cake(covered the top & sides). When I started lighting candles, it ended up in a small fire with the coconut catching fire. He could see the flames through the window & just laughed. So did I. I named it my Cajon-style chocolate cake.

BBB and GI,

If you do end up in a desert, just get some Pecan Sandies! Then it is all appropriate!

"3D printing technology is growing exponentially from plastic renditions of scale models that are now ubiquitous to materially correct copies, atom by atom, of whatever the sender has in mind for you."

I'd be careful with that kind of thing, frankly.

First of all, let's say someone wants to send you a little stick of dynamite with a lit fuse, all they need do is say, 'hey, try my new cupcake!'

Second of all, a basic printer ink cartridge is ridiculously expensive now. I doubt an atom dispensor would be any cheaper.

I wouldn't even pay for a scratch and sniff version.

Unless...nevermind, I've got no time for her ;-)

Ooooh...1der! Interesting issues to consider. If you were to take your picture wiith a 2d camera would that make the copy shallow and 2 dimensional? Take the photo in 3d and print it....but then turn off the printer mid process. Is that murder? Run out of "ink?" Negligent homicide? Lawyers rejoice!

At least you would save all those atoms and such, and don't get me started about the 'God Partical', lol.

I'd suspect "polaroid" and "planned parenthood" have some kind of lobby against such a thing ever happening, fwiw.

Good to see you.

I am very sad. I wish I had known him beyond the forum. My thoughts are with his family and friends!

Gardening Angel, If the family is going to collect funds for a charity or something in his honor please let us know.

Wow this is sad! Condolences to the family.
I am sure I met bambooboy at the Farmers Market (my memory is going).
I just read this on his website:
"Working on, and riding bicycles has again caught my interest . I ride pretty much for the same reasons as I did then. I ride because I like too ride. Things seem to change in life, but they really never do. I'm still that young 25 year old stuck in an aging body. It almost seems unfair. You end up dying of old age when you are really just a teenager."

He will be missed. Very sad and again makes me realize how brief our lives are. Can't believe he was posting here just a few days ago.
R.I.P. bambooboy.

Edog - thanks for that message. And I am doing good, check my avatar- that was a few days ago up near Gold Creek.
I still am amazed how easy it is for a human heart to stop functioning! One minute you are here and the next you are gone! One just has to enjoy every moment of this life.

I wondered why this thread had life again, and so saddened to hear why. I had yet to deliver a thank you gift. Thanks for letting us know, and if there is anything I can help with, just let me know.

True that, Mr VB. Any time, any age. It's a sad part of being human we never want to get used to.

Thank you for being here bambooboy, we already miss you.
